Bhagavad Gita Material Quotations

One attains peace in whose mind all desires enter without creating any disturbance, as river waters enter the full ocean without creating a disturbance. One who desires material objects is never peaceful.

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego-all together these eight contitute my separted material energies

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with material senses. Such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.

The knowledge sacrifice is superior to any material sacrifice.

The knowledge sacrifice is superior to any material sacrifice, O Arjuna. Because, all actions in their entirety culminate in knowledge.
